You glazed the pork every 30 minutes?

I wonder if some of the smoke ring was the cure or pink salt? lol or red food coloring.. sure looked like a big ring

i should say  i didn't use the pink salt  the recipe was one they used in a regular  oven. since  i was doing it on the smoker  i didn't use it  i basted the ribs every 1/2 hour after the first hour i just  flipped them and rotated them on the smoker
